Can Trex Run On A Hyper Visor With Virtual Nics?

Answer»

Yes. Currently there is a NEED for 2-3 cores and 4GB memory. For VM use case, memory requirement can be significantly reduced if NEEDED (at the cost of supporting less concurrent flows) by using the following CONFIGURATION.

LIMITATIONS:

  • Using vSwitch will limit the maximum PPS to around 1MPPS (DPDK-OVS/VPP can SOLVE this).
  • Latency results will not be accurate.
  • For high performance setup (multi-rx-queue), it is better to add rx_desc: 4096 in the trexd_cfg.yaml see platform_yaml_cfg_argument and software mode.
